Custom tour to Longwood Gardens and Brandywine Valley - The company arranged to pick up our group of garden club friends at our AirBnb as we checked out, then created a custom tour for us that concluded with an airport drop off. Full service! Laura was our delightful guide for the day. Laura was easy going and fit seamlessly into our group. We started the day with a ride out to Brandywine Valley. Along the way, Laura shared her knowledge of the history, industry, and political background of the area. We learned about the founding of the Pennsylvania colony and the City of Brotherly Love. She captivated our group with her strong command of all these subjects. We switched gears and enjoyed an incredible shopping and lunch visit to Terrain- recommended by WeVenture. We all loved it! Then we had a fantastic tour of Longwood Gardens. Laura deftly covered the botanical background, the DuPont family history, and the creation of the world famous gardens and conservatory. Breathtaking! On the way back to the city, she took us on a scenic route through the rolling hills. She shared fascinating details about the architecture, interiors, and owners of several significant homes in the area. Laura was the perfect tour guide! She gave us a day that was tailor made to our group. Highly recommend!

Gardens and Dale were amazing - Dale was a great tour guide. He drove us to the garden and we had great conversation and info along the way. We chose to tour the gardens of n pur own. The gardens are not to be missed! I highly recommend this tour with Dale.

Breathtaking spectacular views - Laura was very knowledgeable and warm & friendly. Our little group was very cohesive all getting along together. I flew from Chicago to take this tour with my younger sister. And I’m grateful for this experience. The vastness of the gardens requires multiple trips. I will return for the tulips in May 2024.

Solo Tour - Laura was an exceptional guide, teaching me about the history of Philadelphia, the BrandyWine area and of course, Longwood gardens. Appreciate that the company gave me the tour despite being the only person who booked. And the gardens were beautiful.

Nice but not worth the money - It is a great place and has some nice plantings. We however have traveled to all 50 states and this is not even half the gorgeous places we have seen. I guess it is the big game in town here but try Butchart Gardens in Canada instead. (Victoria) Look at the pictures online.
